The Indian Thread (TiT) #18

<p>Ooh Sariska. There was some controversy involving the reserve a few years ago, right?</p>

<p>Yeah. No tigers were left there. I think they air-lifted some and put them there with a camera around there neck. Now there are like 10-15 or something I think.</p>

<p>Something’s better than nothing?</p>

<p>My last normal day wasn’t really the best either today :(</p>

<p>Details, please?</p>

<p>In a few minutes.</p>

<p>Oh, quasi, I know exactly how you feel. (replies Meghna, about twelve centuries and 032480493 pages too late because YOU GUYS POST ALL AT ONCE and then when I’m online DISAPPEAR. ahem, sorry for diversion). I feel like I’m glad to escape my hellhole school too, but at my farewell (which is in January, how come you guys get to leave so early? O_O) I know I will brawl because there is a lifetime of memories there. I don’t care if it sounds cheeseh, but this was where I grew up. I’m glad it turned up though, because at the end its a sentimental attachment to the place that shaped you, and it’s good to feel that.</p>

<p>…shut up, everyone. I’ve been (trying too but not really) writing essays all 1/3 of the day and this is what happens to me :P.</p>

<p>@Crazysah- Sariska is still fun though! I went way back in the 7th grade, but it was cool, yo.</p>

<p>My farewell is after the boards are done.</p>

<p>Haha. That’s not too optimistic of them, no?</p>

<p>I can’t wait for the Farewell partaaay. Except our theme for dressing up is, ‘Harmony in the shades of nature’. W T F, 11th graders? We were so much cooler. The theme we gave our twelthies was, ‘Guns and Roses’, and I don’t mean the band. We had mafia guys and sexy girls in red dresses. How the hell can you look good in ‘the shades of nature’? …Don’t answer that.</p>

<p>Dude, “Guns and Roses” sounds like such a good idea. You’re cool. Your juniors clearly aren’t. We don’t have fancy-schmancy themes or anything. Girls in saris, guys in suits. But that’s for the formal farewell, which the teachers throw us. For the informal event (which is what our juniors host), we just dress in casuals and laugh and chat and dance and eat and have fun.</p>

<p>Oh man we have a farewell dance after the boards. We have to wear Indian clothes! We never have themes, I’m jealous.</p>

<p>And yes meghna, I’m glad I felt something today. I wanted that sentimental attachment and I was afraid I didn’t have it and I was like, “Fifteen years and no impact?!” But no. There’s been an impact after all. :)</p>

<p>I love some parts of senior year. I love how everything’s a big deal and the teachers are so mellow and you feel like you own the school.</p>

<p>We are forced to come in uniform for our stupid farewell…ever since things went a lil screwed with a batch 3-4 years ago.</p>

<p>Our school is pretty complex. We have the formal formal ‘Grad day’, with school uniforms and teary teacher/valediction speeches. The same evening we have semi formal farewell party, organized entirely by the 11th grade with all this ~jazz~ and DJ and typical farewell stuff. Then we have the super informal party party, where some rich kid books the bar and we freak out. So much celebration on leaving school, haha.</p>

<p>Gotta love the “we rule the school” feeling. I’ll miss that :(.</p>

<p>Oh crap, Quasi, I’m gonna have to slow-dance at the farewell as well. I WILL AVOID THE A-HOLE THIS TIME!</p>

<p>(No names, please.)</p>

<p>I’M SO JEALOUS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE FORMAL GRAD DAYS!</p>

<p>We get the super informal batch parties too, but I don’t know if I’ll be going to any. I will only go if I get into college, lol.</p>

<p>We just got to go up on stage during Assembly and get pennants with Batch of 2010 on it. That’s it for a grad ceremony.</p>

<p>…and the drinking age is supposed to be 25 in Delhi :P</p>

<p>Yeah Danu, I’m going to miss that too. </p>

<p>Haha. We’re not allowed slow dances. :stuck_out_tongue: But people find their way around it.</p>

<p>I TOTALLY SECOND QUAS RE: senior year. This is what we do: walk in at 9 am in the middle of October, sit in for half the classes, and get our junior headmistress to order us Dominoes pizza in the breaks. Sweeeet.</p>

<p>Why wouldn’t you go for the informal parties? Parties = music and dancing and friends = fun. Even without booze :).</p>
